We report here on EUV observations of a sunspot observed by the Harvard instrument on Skylab. The observational data used here have been presented in a previous paper by Noyes et al. (1982), in which line identifications and intensities for the wavelength region 350 – 1350 A were given. Several electron density sensitive line ratios suggest a constant density, rather than constant pressure, emitting region, while temperature diagnostic line ratios of several ions yield temperatures below the temperatures expected in ionization equilibrium.
